Every year, I promise not to attend this tech-heavy confab of fast chips. And every year, I break that promise. Just too much to ignore! I can deal with it:…
Apple is in the process of switching its PCs to Arm-based SoCs, but the company might not be putting all its eggs into one basket, as it is also exploring…
We recently wrote about a new CPU startup that has been garnering very impressive leadership and architects from all over. We have now confirmed the name, Rivos Inc. They are…
Ventana Micro Systems has raised $38 million to design datacenter RISC-V processors as part of a push to create open hardware. Ventana’s chips will be based on RISC-V, a new…
We've witnessed a lot happening to help the plight of modern makers in recent years. We now have professionally-produced panels of PCBs, for mere peanuts. There are myriad microchips for…
Bluetrum, a Chinese chip manufacturer known for its high-performance Bluetooth speakers and headsets, has designed an audio player microcontroller for audio applications and other general purposes. The new device named…
Linus Torvalds has just announced Linux 5.14 release which happens to almost coincide with the anniversary of the initial announcement of the “small” project on August 25, 1991, about 30…
As processor architecture and design development becomes completely liberated with open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA), the race to get RISC-V silicon in our hands has increased massively. We have…
Cyberon Corporation, a leading embedded speech solution provider, and Andes Technology (TWSE: 6533), a major supplier for high efficiency, low-power 32/64-bit RISC-V processor cores, announced their collaboration on the edge-computing…
